How renting in Big Pine has changed since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	20.7% (±7.3 points)	25.5% (±8.2 points)	+4.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$873 (±$124)	$1,202 (±$257)	+37.7%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$53,891 (±$3,791)	$67,583 (±$19,599)	+25.4%	No measurable change after inflation

The Census Bureau publishes 2015–2019 dollars in 2019 dollars and 2020–2024 dollars in 2024 dollars.

Prices (the CPI-U, US Bureau of Labor Statistics) rose 22.7% between 2019 and 2024, so a dollar figure’s verdict compares the two after raising the earlier one by that much, using the Census Bureau’s test for a difference.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
